File probably has some additional tags which are different from the rest. Could be album artist, artist or album - theyre the usual culprits. Use MP3Tag to compare the extended tags of the files.

Thanks for the quick response! I will compare the files in MP3Tag and let you know.

It sounds like you have not identified the correct album in Picard, so have tracks with different Musicbrainz Album ID tags. The first one Picard finds may not be the correct one. Also if you tag some songs from an album with mbids but not others then Kodi will see that as separate albums.

Just drag the Jive talkin' song from the other album up to the "Greatest Hits" album and drop it. Are you using cluster, then lookup? Or are you choosing to "scan" all the songs via their acoustic id?

Picard has a "remove all other tags option"
Its pretty essential to turn that option on to prevent these kind of problems.

I checked the Tags inside of MP3tag and there is some differences bw the Jive Talkin song and the rest of the album. What is the best way to make the whole album match and get Jive Talkin in the same album. I have tried to cluster and look up option, but this has not worked.
I will try the Picard has a "remove all other tags option" and see if that gets it working correctly. Seems like once Picard picks up on some differences in songs within the same album, it is not that easy to correct. Maybe I just don't know all the tricks to get passed a problem like this. Thanks for all of the great responses to my post.

You can drag and drop any track in picard onto an album, you don't need to use the auto features like cluster and lookup if it doesnt work, just drag and drop each track individually.
You can also add an album manually from the website using the "lookup in browser" option.

When i right click on the song Jive Talkin it does not give me the right click options like on the other songs(look up in browser, look up etc). Is that because it is not associating it with this album. I will try and add manually and see if that works.

I was able to fix this problem! The steps I took were as follows:
1. Delete all tag information for the Bee Gees Greatest Album using MP3Tag.
2. Load the album into Picard, manually add artist and album information.
3. Cluster and scan
4. Then I could see the right album information and save all the songs.
5. Now in Kodi I can see One album with all the songs.
I do use the look up in browser function to see the correct album information. Is it possible to tag using this function. For some reason when I use the look up function it never works and I have to select scan. I think a lot of this is trial and error and using the applications to get comfortable with how they work. Appreciate the help.
